2).

From the result of the arithmetic processing, the section data of the commuter pass b (section data from the B station to the C station in the example of FIG. 3A) is extracted and stored in the RAM 12, and the commuter pass block is stored. Is retained in the stopper 8a (S124, S12
5).

Next, addition processing of the section data of the ordinary ticket B and the section data of the commuter ticket B is performed (S126). When the added section data continues up to C station, it is a normal boarding, so the participation data is written and returned to the commuter pass B, and the ordinary ticket a is wing W and It is collected in the collection box B via the collection conveyance path 4 ', and the door 9 is opened to permit participation (S126-).
S132).

When the added section data is not continuous up to C station, when the so-called Kiseru boarding is performed (No at S128), even if the commuter pass B is valid, the door 9 is closed and the participation is not allowed. It is rejected (S134). Also, FIG.
Although not shown in the flowchart of (b), even if the section data is continuous, S102 or S1
If there is no entry data in any of the data read in 22, that is, if there is no entry data in any of the inserted multiple tickets, it is possible that illegal (abnormal) use is considered. However, participation is denied.

Of course, in the case of an invalid ticket such as the validity period of the commuter ticket (b) being expired, the participation is rejected although not shown in FIG. 3 (b).

As described above, the automatic ticket gate according to the present embodiment effectively rejects the so-called Kiseru boarding because the entry is rejected when the boarding sections of a plurality of tickets are not continuous at the time of entry. Can be stopped.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the boarding ticket is a set of a regular ticket and a commuter ticket, but it may be a combination of a regular ticket and a coupon ticket or a combination of a coupon ticket and a commuter ticket. . Further, the combination of the tickets may be three or more. In this case, the number of stoppers is increased.
